This language of Jesus as the “beloved of God” prepares us for the Lenten Season. It was at the mountain that the Father declared Jesus to be the perfect lamb. Jesus is the greater Isaac. He was laid at the altar of Calvary for our salvation. According to Psalm 2, this was so that Jesus might become the New Adam; the Servant of Yahweh who will bring justice to the nations. This same Jesus became our life in death so He might become our life as we partake of His body and blood.
